1. Developing the Plan The plan should be tailored to the specific needs of the healthcare facility. It must be comprehensive and cover all potential hazards.
2. Training and Education Regular training sessions for nurses and other healthcare workers are essential. This includes initial training upon hiring and annual refresher courses.
3. Monitoring and Evaluation Continuous monitoring of compliance with the plan is necessary. Regular audits and feedback help identify gaps and areas for improvement.
